AMA Racers Complete Testing Session at Miller

For the last two days, more than 60 AMA riders have been racing around the Miller Motorsports Park track. All four classes were represented during the two day test in Utah, as riders prepared for the second round of the season at the Infineon Raceway.

The AMA riders have had a long break since the opening round of the 2011 racing season, and used Miller to shake off a little bit of the rust before getting back to competitive racing on May 14th.

Josh Hayes, the returning AMA Superbike champion, led the majority of the testing sessions at MMP. Hayes was fastest during 7 of the 8 sessions on his Monster Energy Graves Yamaha, and claimed the fastest lap of the weekend.

The Daytona Sportbike riders also got a turn on the track this weekend. PJ Jacobsen was the most consistent rider at MMP, taking the top spot during five of the 8 testing sessions, but it was Jason DiSalvo’s 7th session performance that earned the quickest lap of the weekend.

For the Daytona Sportbike riders, there was also exciting news off the track. Josh Herrin, who was originally given a two race suspension after the incident at Daytona, had his suspension reduced to one race.
